Winners laugh too soon
A paper world with paper faces
Beneath a paper moon
There's a man, a real pacesetter
Coming after me
And after him there's someone better and
After him there's me
He'll offer you a cigarette
He'll offer you a light
But he hasn't finished with you yet
On another long, knife night
So look behind you
There's the man you're chasing
Look behind you
Let's go human racing
Human racing
Let's go racing now
Open arms and open purses
Open season's here
Fill your heads with clever verses
And then they disappear
Silent vows in secret places
They'll get you somehow
Cos you never win in human races
So who's the loser now
Look behind you
There's the man you're casing
Look behind you
Let's go human racing
Human racing
Let's go racing now
Closing in on empty spaces Winners laugh too soon A paper world with paper faces Beneath a paper moon There's a man, a real pacesetter Coming after me And after him there's someone better and After him there's me He'll offer you a cigarette He'll offer you a light But he hasn't finished with you yet On another long, knife night So look behind you There's the man you're chasing Look behind you Let's go human racing Human racing Let's go racing now Open arms and open purses Open season's here Fill your heads with clever verses And then they disappear Silent vows in secret places They'll get you somehow Cos you never win in human races So who's the loser now Look behind you There's the man you're casing Look behind you Let's go human racing Human racing Let's go racing now Explain Request ×
